If Melbourne, Australia were in the USA, would it be considered to be in the Sun Belt?  Here is the definition of the Sun Belt for reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Belt |

If Melbourne Australia were in the USA, it would be in fucking Seattle.
Sunbelt my fat furry ass.

Allow me to present the horror: cdweather.boards.net/post/185315/threadWhen Auckland, NZ has been MUCH warmer and sunnier, there is a real problem. Melbourne does not deserve respect or boteving, San Jose CA is far warmer and sunnier than FailAtLife could ever hope to be. |

There wasn't a single day on that month you linked to with a high of less than 10C. You call that cold? Seattle even in recent years has recorded winter highs below 0C. When was the last time that happened in Melbourne? |

Yes, Melbourne is COLD and CLOUDY. Melbourne is the worst climate in Australia, which automatically translates it into the Seattle of Australia.
You're taking it too literally, I am talking figuratively here. While in real terms Melbourne could be compared to somewhere like Oakland, CA, its summers are still worse than 95% of the inhabited US.
And in real terms, its sunshine is akin to Seattle or Pittsburgh. Official stats are taken from Melbourne Airport mind you, well to the north of the bay and the city. It is reasonable to assume that most of the inhabited area to the east and southeast is infact cloudier.
I'll see my self to the sink to vomit up my guts at this realisation.

First of all, Melbourne is a highly unusual climate for the region due to localised foehn winds. Please do not ever use it again when comparing to US climates. Thank you very much This is what the windward Victorian coast looks like—an annual mean of just 13.8° C @ 38° S:  |

Looks like horse shit to me. And SF is one of the biggest horse shit climates in North America.

Neither are cold

Yeah I know, but Warrnambool's temps are at least genuine and non-flukey unlike SF |

Southern coastline Aussie climes ARE different to other parts of the world. Melbourne moreso due to the localised conditions AA mentioned. Actually, Melbourne is somewhat a bit inland geographically re Victoria, despite the location on the coast of Port Phillip Bay. Trust me, they are generally waay hotter on heatwave days than the real southern coastline. Most of the rest of Australia ( oh and a majority percentage of Melbourne residents ) think the local climate is a COAT ( of a thing ).
It probably seems strange to our Northern Hemisphere mates out there in WWF Land, but the climate in Melbourne is mostly derided by the rest of Australia.

Both Melbourne and Warrnambool look like Northern Californian climates in terms of the moderate temps year-round, although they get much more balanced precip in all seasons than NorCal. I'd say Melbourne looks like San José/Oakland maybe, and Warrnambool looks more like SF proper. I wouldn't consider SF to be in the Sun Belt at all -- after all it is incredibly cool in the summer despite the mild winters. San José I would consider though to be Sun Belt, so I'll say Melbourne would be borderline.

Warrnambool on the other hand is real, raw, frontal cold. It's not localized at all. Go anywhere north from San Francisco on the California coastline and it's the same phenomenon: Fort Bragg, Eureka etc. |

It's not localized at all. Go anywhere north from San Francisco on the California coastline and it's the same phenomenon: Fort Bragg, Eureka etc. Ummm yes it is. As soon as you go even, like, 10 km inland…all the fog burns off and reveals the real temp. That's absolutely not the case with Victorian climates—in fact, even hundreds of km inland in Victoria, the summers are the coolest on Earth for that latitude, bar-none. Fact: AU climates for any given latitude, have a cooler annual mean than US counterparts: e.g. Albury, NSW vs Nashville, TN (both @ 36° and ~ 150 m, and on the windward side of the ranges). |

Looking through that thread I realized that July in Saskatoon was hotter than January in Melbourne this year by 1.5C. Even our record high was tied with theirs. Pretty impressive considering the nearly 15 degree difference in latitude and 450 meter difference in elevation. |
